"As a member of the early Byrds lineup and as a solo artist who released a handful of brilliant albums, singer/songwriter Gene Clark had a hand in some of the most melodically rich, emotionally tender music of the '60s and early '70s ... This collection is the first time the eight songs have ever been made commercially available, and it's a treat to hear a small slice of Gene's prolific efforts. He's backed by a small, sympathetic group that treats his songs with care, while Clark brings them to life with his aching, heartfelt vocals ... Omnivore has done Gene Clark fans a great service by releasing this collection, and it gives them a candid behind-the-scenes glimpse at one of the great songwriters and vocalists of his time".

"Gene Clark Sings for You is a cause for celebration; we get to hear a songwriter working through the intricacies of songs in these tracks and to hear these songs as they're being born in his mind and in his writing. For many fans of the Byrds, Gene Clark - and not McGuinn, Crosby, Hillman, Parsons - was the force behind the band because of his brilliant songwriting, and his leaving the band was a huge loss for them. Now we get to hear Clark in all his virtuosity on Gene Clark Sings for You".
